Mirror Removal - Stuck with 'No-Nails'?

Hiya, I'm redecorating one of the bedrooms at the house we're about to move to, and the donut who lived there previously (my dad!) in his wisdome has stuck a mirror (no frame just a big round glass mirror) direct to the wall (over wallpaper) with no nails, any idea's on how to remove it minimising the risk of shattering the mirror?





Thanks in advance.Mirror Removal - Stuck with 'No-Nails'?
Go to the hardware and get a few feet of ';piano wire';. Slip the wire behind the mirror and GENTLY saw back and pull the wire down. If it's stuck on wallpaper the only thing your going to lose is the wallpaper and maybe a little wall damage.





Be sure and put tape all over the mirror (to hold the pieces in case it breaks) and please wear safety glasses and gloves.Mirror Removal - Stuck with 'No-Nails'?
Not much chance, but you could cover the entire mirror in Duck tape or similar to hold it together should it shatter. And ideally you want protective footwear because a heavy glass piece could go through your foot.
horible stuff that is , you will not get it off, sorry xx
